correct. this is because anodization involves building up and oxide layer onto the aluminum. now the oxide layer would be in the form of rust on a piece of steel. the basic setup of anodizing involves using a lead anode in a solution of sulfuric acid. then a dye is applied and becomes part of the oxidized layer by seeping into the pores in the oxide. then a sealer is applied causing it to never wear off very easily. usually the aluminum is cleaned in sodium hydroxide(aka draino). there ya have it. normal anodizing voltage is about 1.5-2 volts.
